CONNECTING TO A MAC 
Downloading the Drivers 
Your ZED-R16 has firmware installed and working already, but in order for your MAC computer to be able to communicate 
with the FireWire device in ZED-R you’ll need to load some Drivers onto your computer. 
The installer software is available on the Allen & Heath website at: 
  http://www.allen-heath.com/zed/ 
MAC Installation: 
Make sure that the ZED-R16 is not connected to your 
computer. 
Save the DMG file to your MAC desktop. 
Run the Installer program by double clicking it 
(the ZED-R16 should still be disconnected). 
Select the PKG application. 
Click Continue. 
Click Install. 
Click Continue Installation. 
Click Restart to complete the installation. 
Switch on your ZED-R16 and connect the FireWire lead to 
your MAC and your ZED-R. 
The Drivers for ZED-R16 will now be installed and ready to use. 
The MAC is now set up and ready to go. 
The ZED-R Device control panel icon will appear in your application 
which enables the device settings like sample rate and modes to be ad-
justed. 
The control panel will run only if ZED-R16 is connected to your com-
puter via FireWire. If there is a connection problem you will get the mes-
sage “Error in communicating with Driver” 
An uninstaller should you need to remove the drivers at any stage is 
included in the same DMG file as the install package.
